Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 30
“Gerald, are you serious? You want a box of the red wine?”
This had seriously exceeded Yuri’s expectations. However, it was too late for him to retreat now or
Gerald would beat him just like that.
“Of course I’m sure about my decision. However, if you find it too expensive, you can change the red
wine for something cheaper, Yuri…” Gerald said once again.
Gerald had already been despised and bullied by these boys for the past three years. This was nothing
to him today. He wanted to seek justice for all that he had suffered in the past.
After listening to Gerald’s ridicule, Yuri simply gritted his teeth and said, “I don’t think it’s expensive at
all! You can just order whatever you want! I will just split the bill with you at the end of the day.”
“Okay. Okay then. I can rest assured now. By the way, waitress, I hope you remember that this young
man and I will be splitting the bill for this luxurious private room!”
Gerald was afraid that Yuri would not admit it in the end. Therefore, he decided to remind the waitress
of this fact in front of everyone.
The waitress nodded before she said, “Yes, sir! I know. If that’s the case, I’ll serve the food right away!”
The rest of them did not care at all. No matter what it was, it seemed as though Gerald and Yuri would
not admit defeat anyway. This would be the most record-breaking meal that they ever had in their life.
Everyone started drinking the high-end red wine at this time. As they were eating and drinking, Gerald
opened a special system website on his cell phone. This was a website used to manage all of the
shops and businesses on Mayberry Commercial Street, with detailed information on each and every
one of these shops here.
In fact, Zack had handed this website over to Gerald when he signed the renewal contract the last time.
Therefore, Gerald decided to log in to take a look at this time as he wanted to check out the prices of
the dishes and wine that he had ordered.
The import prices for the six bottles of red wine was a little more than six thousand dollars.
Furthermore, the cost for the ordinary dishes for the three tables in the private room downstairs and the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtsignature dishes that they enjoyed in the luxurious private room cost about three thousand dollars.
Therefore, Gerald would lose about nine thousand dollars for this meal tonight.
However, Yuri and the others would have to spend at least ten to eleven thousand dollars tonight!
Otherwise, Gerald would not have continued fighting against Yuri in this manner.
The classmates continued enjoying their food and drinks for more than two hours.
Yuri and Danny were not very happy as they ate their dinner. They kept holding their cell phones in
their hands and everyone else did not know what they were doing…
After they were finally done eating and drinking, Gerald looked at Yuri and Danny, who had anxious
looks on their faces.
“What now, Yuri? If we’re done with dinner, should we checkout and pay for the meal now? By the way,
Yuri, the waitress already knows that we are splitting the bill for this luxurious private room. So, don’t
tell me you have no money to pay for the meal later! Otherwise, you’d really be in a lot of trouble
tonight!”
“What? Why would I be afraid of you?” Yuri said in a bitter manner.
To be honest, he did not have enough money at the moment. In fact, he had already spent the whole
night trying to raise more money with Danny. As Gerald had already specifically mentioned the fact that
he would be splitting the bill with Yuri to the waitress, there was no way for Yuri to get out of this at all!
Moreover, all of the friends that he had texted did not bother answering their phones or replying to his
messages as soon as they saw that he wanted to borrow some money from them!
Damn it!
“Gerald, what are you implying? After paying for this meal tonight, you’ll be nothing more than a pauper
once again! So, why don’t you worry about yourself instead?” Xavia said as she glared angrily at
Gerald.
After that, she looked at Yuri before she said, “Brother Yuri, why don’t we go to the counter to pay for
the food now? Let’s see who shall be the one crying later!”
Even though Xavia also felt distressed because Yuri had to spend so much money on this dinner, she
thought that it was totally worth it since Gerald would become a pauper again after tonight!
As they were talking, the group of people, including all their classmates who enjoyed dinner at the other
three tables, also headed downstairs.
Everyone was gathered in the lobby at this time.
Gerald’s classmates were undoubtedly very happy with the meal that they had enjoyed tonight.
Even though most of them did not get to enjoy their dinner in the luxurious private room, they still felt
very grateful towards Gerald.
“Hello, sir. In addition to the three tables in the private room downstairs, Mr. Crawford and Mr. Lowell
will be splitting the bill for the luxurious private room upstairs. Each of you will need to pay eleven
thousand dollars after splitting the bill.”
What?
“That meal cost twenty two thousand dollars? Oh my god!”
Everyone was shocked at this time.
Gerald was indifferent as he took out the money from his backpack before he immediately settled the
bill for the eleven thousand dollars and the three tables for his classmates downstairs.
At this time, it seemed as though Gerald only had six to seven thousand dollars left.
However, this meal had actually cost him only about seven to eight thousand dollars.
After paying the bill, Gerald looked at Yuri before he said, “Yuri, aren’t you going to settle the bill now?
Everyone’s waiting to go home!”
“Hmph!”
Yuri looked a little embarrassed at this time.
He regretted his actions now. He had only decided to continue fighting heads on with Gerald because
he was angry earlier. Moreover, he thought that he would be able to borrow some money from his
friends before settling the bill. Unfortunately, he did not manage to do so.
Everyone was staring at Yuri at this time and this made him feel very stressed and embarrassed.
“Well, miss, could you please put this bill under my name and I’ll settle the payment tomorrow instead?”
Yuri asked with a softer tone at this time.
He did not know what else to do.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Sir, please don’t joke around with us. We do not accept credit payment here!”
When the manager saw the awkward expression on Yuri’s face, she started being very rude and
impolite to him.
“If you really don’t have enough to pay off this bill, why don’t you call your parents or borrow some
money from your friends?”
At this time, Yuri looked at Xavia and all of her classmates.
All of Xavia’s classmates looked out of the restaurant at this time, as though they had already made an
agreement to do so.
Yuri was very annoyed at this time. He did not dare to call his father as if his father found out that he
had spent eleven thousand dollars on a meal just to prove he was richer than his friend, his father
would definitely kill him!
His family only owned a factory!
“I can offer you another way out. You could leave one of your classmates here to wait for you and leave
the restaurant to find a way to raise the money. Moreover, I see that you have a car parked outside.
You could leave the car behind as collateral.”
“No! How could I possibly leave this car here tonight? This is my father’s car! I have to drive it home
tonight!” Yuri said anxiously.
Homeland Kitchen was located on Mayberry Commercial Street and Yuri cannot afford to offend
anyone here.
He was already at a dead end.
“Shh…”
Gerald’s classmates began whispering among themselves at this time. It turned out that the car
actually belonged to Yuri’s father.
Xavia also felt very embarrassed.
The manager spoke up and said, “Well, it looks like you can only leave someone here to wait for you
while you raise the money then.”
“Hello? Hello? Okay, Dad I am going home now. Wait for me!” As soon as he finished this sentence,
Danny rushed out of the restaurant to answer a phone call.
These were not his classmates.
Therefore, in the end, Yuri could only look at Xavia as he said, “Manager, may I leave my girlfriend here
to wait for me?”
